Chapter 469: Intentional and Powerless vs. Powerful and Unintentional
As Li Yue and Yang Jian sat down, Xiong Wenwen's mother Chen Shumei immediately made two cups of tea for them.
Then he sat across from Li Yue and Yang Jian with a sad look on his face.
Although Chen Shumei is very beautiful, she is just like that to Li Yue.
Although he tried his best to maintain the human part of his consciousness, it was inevitable that his emotional part would be affected since he embarked on this path.
So Li Yue just glanced at Chen Shumei before picking up the hot tea and drinking it.
When Yang Jian saw that Li Yue didn't speak, he didn't speak either.
It stands to reason that it was Chen Shumei who invited the two of them this time. Now that they have arrived, they should speak up, but at this time, the other party lowered his head and said nothing.
For a moment the whole room fell into silence.
Until Li Yue almost finished a cup of tea, Chen Shumei still had no tendency to speak;
This made him feel a little unhappy.
Although he has a lot of time, he doesn't want to play a silent game here.
But when he saw the worried expression on Chen Shumei's face and the slowly sad look in her eyes, he sighed silently in his heart.
This was not because Li Yue was interested, but when he saw Chen Shumei worried about Xiong Wenwen, he felt something in his heart.
"If my guess is correct, you should be contacting me about Xiong Wenwen, right?" In desperation, Li Yue could only break the deadlock.
If he didn't take the initiative to speak, he doesn't know how much time he would waste here.
Hearing Li Yue's words, Chen Shumei's body trembled, then she nodded silently, and her eyes began to turn slightly red.
"Xiong Wenwen? What's wrong with him?" Yang Jian suddenly asked in confusion.
"What's wrong? I'm just being recruited to carry out the Ghost Painting Operation." Li Yue said casually;
"What? Operation Ghost Painting, when did this happen?" Yang Jian continued to ask.
Li Yue put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "In the past two days of the experiment, I only learned about this operation and its personnel through Wang Xiaoming."
"No wonder, I said that we have been here for so long, but why haven't we seen Xiong Wenwen? I thought we were going out to play, but I didn't expect that we would participate in this operation." Yang Jian nodded slowly.
At this time, Li Yue looked at Chen Shumei with calm eyes and said, "What can you say now? I don't like beating around the bush."
Chen Shumei's expression froze, and after a slight hesitation, she slowly said, "Just like what you said, Captain Li, I invited you to my home this time just because of Wenwen's matter."
"The thing is like this, not a few days after Captain Yang left last time, a Captain named Li Jun from the headquarters came to my house."
"Li Jun? I know him. He is our colleague. I have dealt with him and he is a pretty good person." Yang Jian nodded.
Compared with Wei Jing, Yang Jian still admires people with Li Jun's personality, even though he and Li Jun are from different walks of life.
"Li Jun's visit must be on a mission, so... Xiong Wenwen is on a mission? And it's also Operation Ghost Painting."
Chen Shumei's expression became even more sad at this time; "Although I don't know what Operation Ghost Painting Captain Li is talking about, Captain Li is indeed on a mission to find Wenwen this time."
"The key is that Wenwen has been away with Li Jun for two days. Counting today is already the third day, but there is no news at all. I am very worried, so I want to find the two captains to ask you about the situation."
At this time, Chen Shumei looked at Li Yue and Yang Jian with expectant eyes.
If an ordinary man were looked at by such a beautiful woman like this, he would have been so fascinated that he didn't know what was going on.
It's a pity that the two people opposite Chen Shumei at this time are not ordinary people.
So it was still very calm and there was no other expression.
Li Yue, in particular, was looking at Chen Shumei with a scrutinizing gaze.
Finally, before Li Yue could speak, Chen Shumei couldn't help but turned her head away because she couldn't bear Li Yue's eyes.
Because of Xiong Wenwen's ability, many ghost masters want to get along with him, and Chen Shumei, as a guardian, has naturally met many ghost masters.
But I have never seen anyone like Li Yue.
She had heard Xiong Wenwen mention Captain Li Yue many times before, saying he was a very powerful person.
At that time, Chen Shumei thought Li Yue was a mature and steady middle-aged man in his thirties or forties.
But after seeing it with my own eyes, I discovered that the other person was at most a young man in his early twenties, and his skin was very white. The white color seemed a little unhealthy, and he was also a little handsome.
If it is a general situation, people will definitely think of the word pretty boy.
But it won't happen with Li Yue.
Because Li Yue's temperament is so special, it's not something that pretty boys can possess.
What's even more eye-catching is Li Yue's eyes.
Although it looks as plain as water, if you look at it for a long time, you will find that there is an indescribable indifference and evil hidden inside.
It gives people an indescribable sense of danger.
"There is no need to play such tricks in front of us. If you want us to help save people, just say so and ask about the situation. This way you can deceive children."
Li Yue mercilessly exposed Chen Shumei's fig leaf.
At this time, Yang Jian's eyes moved slightly and he looked at Chen Shumei. He also saw the other person's little thoughts.
After listening to Li Yue's words, Chen Shumei's face became even more ugly.
However, for the sake of Xiong Wenwen, he was still shameless and gritted his teeth and continued:
"Captain Li, you are right. I really want to ask you two to help bring Wenwen back. Wenwen told me before he left that if he encounters a situation, let me call you for help."
Li Yue glanced at Yang Jian. At this time, Yang Jian also had a serious look on his face.
Although they both understood each other's eagerness to love their children, neither of them made any random requests from Chen Shumei.
Xiong Wenwen followed Li Jun to deal with the ghost paintings. Now he has not seen anyone for two or three days, and the ghost painting incident has not been resolved.
Having been involved in a supernatural incident for several days without any news, experienced ghost masters know what this means very well.
So now it is very likely that Li Jun and his party are trapped in the ghost painting world at this time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The horror of the ghost painting world is very clear to both Li Yue and Yang Jian.
Last time, Yang Jian relied on the curse of the music box and the fact that he had no choice before he dared to break through. Even so, there were many dangers along the way.
Later, even with Li Yue around and the curse of immortality on him, Yang Jian still died once.
If Li Yue hadn't acted quickly enough, Yang Jian might have stayed in the ghost painting world forever.
At this time, Yang Jian finally got rid of the curse of the music box. If he entered the ghost painting again, he would have nothing to do for himself, and he might not be able to get out.
More importantly, in the ghost painting world, his ghost eyes are restrained and he cannot use the ghost realm. It is difficult to find people and even more difficult to save people.
So he did not readily agree to Chen Shumei's request.
If Yang Jian was unable to do it even if he wanted to because of his lack of strength, then Li Yue didn't want to do it at all.
Although the ghost paintings are quite scary, even Li Yue is a little afraid of them.
But if it was just to enter the world of ghost paintings and fish out a few people, Li Yue could still do it easily with his mobility.
But Li Yue didn't intend to take action.
He was currently focused on waiting for Wang Chaling to steal the headquarters. How could such a trivial matter affect his plan?
So after thinking for a while, Li Yue said: "Sorry, I can't do anything about this matter."
When Chen Shumei heard Li Yue's decision to reject her request, Chen Shumei suddenly became excited, but before he could speak, Li Yue continued:
"You must understand that the headquarters has its own set of rules. Xiong Wenwen is not a member of my team, so I have no position to take responsibility for him. When he agreed to follow Li Jun, he acquiesced to join Li Jun's team. From now on, he will be responsible
People will only be Li Jun."
After hearing Li Yue's words, Chen Shumei was speechless.
He also knew something about the captain. Xiong Wenwen wanted to join Yang Jian's team before, but because of Chen Shumei, the opinions could not be reached in the end, and Yang Jian's age was too confusing, so she refused.
Go to Yang Jian.
Only now did he realize that he had personally pushed Xiong Wenwen into danger.
Seeing Li Yue's dull expression, Chen Shumei could only focus on Yang Jian.
Now Yang Jian is the last choice.
However, thinking of the unpleasantness that happened when Yang Jian came to visit last time, Chen Shumei said quickly: "I should apologize to Captain Yang for what happened last time. Because I was excited and my attitude was a bit bad, I hope Captain Yang won't take it to heart."
She was referring to the fact that Xiong Wenwen was not allowed to join Yang Jian's team before.
This was entirely done to prevent Yang Jian from resenting him for what happened last time, which would affect the rescue of Xiong Wenwen this time.
"I didn't take what happened last time to heart, and everything you did was for Xiong Wenwen, so there is no need to apologize." Yang Jian said slowly.
"Then I wonder if Team Yang can..." about rescuing Wenwen this time.
Seeing Yang Jian's expression soften, Chen Shumei's eyes suddenly flashed with hope;
But before Chen Shumei could finish speaking, Yang Jian shook his head and interrupted her.
"Although it is a good thing to have people's hopes, but as Li Yue said, it is not easy for me to get involved in Xiong Wenwen's matters, so I am helpless." Yang Jian said seriously.
"And this matter is not simple. Maybe Aunt Chen, you don't know the real inside situation, but I know very well that what Xiong Wenwen is involved in is very dangerous and I am powerless."
Thinking of the horror of ghost paintings, Yang Jian was full of rejection.
Originally, he thought that Yang Jian would agree to his request, but he did not expect that the other party would also reject him like Li Yue.
Chen Shumei suddenly felt confused, and the panic look in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
She immediately stood up and said: "Captain Li, Captain Yang, I know you must have a way. Please help Wenwen, he is still a child who doesn't understand anything."
Although she was very sincere in asking for help, unfortunately Li Yue still did not agree.
As for saying that Xiong Wenwen is still a child, this is no longer a reason.
Think about every time a supernatural incident breaks out, how many people fall inside, including many men, women, and children;
As for Li Gui, he doesn't care whether you are a child or not.
Not to mention children as old as Xiong Wenwen, even newborn babies are exceptions.
If those people could die, why couldn't Xiong Wenwen die?
Who is not raised by his mother and his father? It’s no big deal if they say they are their parents’ babies.
